Huge gap between humans and animals

[Epic Beard Man]

There is no pleasure in a debate when one's opponent throws in the towel through incompetence.

I just don't prefer to debate with someone I do not have respect intellectually. The distaste of the bitter stupidity which was the residue in my thread regarding cops still lingers in my mouth. I have no desire to go back and forth with you. How about being a man/woman/something and move on?

There was no stupidity from my side. You appear to be projecting again.

Nope none at all, good day

Some day you will be able to reason again.

They might not have caused it in the first place, who knows.

We do. They didn't.

Gorillas and chimp intelligence has been estimated to be on the order of a 4-7 year old human child at least when measuring capability for learning. That's not "vastly" superior.

All living things learn.
Interesting estimation. If they return with a different figure, much lower, do you think that change your perspective? Do you figure they might ever estimate that age as 13-16?

Given everything we've learned about intelligence, the findings are consistent. Some non-human animals show capabilities equal to young children. It's possible that there could be a mutation leading to chimps or great apes or perhaps dolphins having a much higher intelligence but I don't think we'll see that in my lifetime.

My point is clear, humans were planned for and hence no animal has
any similarity to the human's way of life in the ability to think, to realize,
to invent, to communicate ....etc

We were not planned for we evolved into what we are and despite of all of our inventions, communication, and … et., there is no other life form on this planet who is destroying the planet at the alarming rate at which it is happening other than humans. How intelligent does that make us. We have remained ignorant of the intelligence of other life forms for so long and only know beginning to recognize how wrong we were about the rest of the life we share with this planet with. Humans were never planned and are no more unique than any other form of life. If you want to be arrogant and consider yourself so superior then you better look at what we are doing to our world and reconsider.

It isn't arrogance but a fact that humans are the only creature on earth
that differ from all living animals on earth, I don't believe it was just
because of coincidence and chance.

Why only humans are different than the rest of animals in terms of thinking, talking
and the way of living, no animal can be compared to humans?

Why are Dolphins so different that the rest of animals in terms of thinking, talking, and the way of living? No animal can be comparable to Dolphins. Same question, now apply that to beetles, to armadillos, to cats, to parrots, etc.

Why we can't even see animals in midway between humans and animals in
terms of thinking, talking and the ability to invent ..etc?

We can, and we do. There are tons of examples of tool use and reasoning in other animals, as well as complex structures of communication or "language," such as we can find in other primates, such as we find with ravens, such as well.... the list goes on. Problem solving is not exclusively found in human beings.

How that is explained by science, we can see different kinds of animals horses, donkeys, dogs,
different kind of birds, but why humans are unique?

We do see different types of humans that have existed. Here's a list for you: Species

All this takes is a little research, and a willingness to learn.

It seems you can't grasp how great is the difference between human beings
and the rest of animals in this world, then the rest is useless.

I think animals are made to work the earth. They have their own functions.

The real question is, what kind of mission do we human beings have .

To wonder what we are here for.

Still fish regardless of their sizes, but humans are unique.

Whales are not fish, but humans *are* apes.

Humans are tool-using, language-using, great apes capable of abstract thought. That is the extent of our uniqueness.

All of these abilities can be found in other species. Ours has simply taken them a step further

 

[A Vestigial Mote]

Humans are unique in their way of life, many animals breathe underwater, many can smell
things far away ....etc, but no animal on earth can be compared to humans, none

I'm developing a very strong sense that you are delusional. Plenty of animals have intelligence. Done. Your point is completely refuted. Just as there are animals with various speeds, and animals who can subsist underwater for variable lengths of time, and animals who vary in raw muscle strength - there are animals with a variety of intelligence. There are even other animals with opposable thumbs. They've proven that gorillas can comprehend abstract concepts. The list goes on.

Your "argument" (more like a vapid assertion) HAS NO LEGS. You've got nothing here. Nada. Time to move on. Your thinking cap is broken. get a new one. Stop thinking you are the pinnacle of "creation" when you are very much more like a bad American Idol tryout.

In what ways do you see us as differing from other animals? Be specific and remember that fully modern humans (biologically) have been around for over 100,000 years.

Regardless of classifications, Humans are far away a different creature
than all other animals on this planet, we investigate and study this universe
and our existence, no animal in this planet is similar to humans and never has been.

And some gorillas started to go to school.

Look around you and you'll see the difference, great gap between us and the rest
of the animals in all aspects of life.
